I'm all for engineering endeavour but isn't trying to go fast on land a bit passé? The challenges of hypersonic flight are far more interesting IMO.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
